The lady that I work for last Thursday after she had talked to her husband after I talked to him about all the trouble I am having finding a place, the previous Thursday. I am too negative in my thinking, think I ignored that statement. Told her that I am always problem solving, and tried to point out some reality of my situation. That never works though as I have done that one before. I just basically ignored her for the rest of the afternoon. So, if she is around this Thursday, I am putting her on ignore as much as possible. I don't like talking to them for a host of reasons. One thing is that she seems to think that I need "life lessons" not understanding that I have had enough lessons from the universe to last me 10 lifetimes. Supposedly also I am someone that she feels "responsible" for but that only goes so far. - BRNEDA
Well, I know I get MY back up when people start scolding/ patronizing me!
Can you put on an I'm listening to your pearls of wisdom face while you ignore her?

Hey Brenda
At least you're not working with a back-stabbing little bitch newbie who thinks she knows it all and has the boss wrapped around her petite finger.

Just a comment about the weather - there is a guy in SoCal who's the water manager for rivers, dams, and settling and ground-water recharge basins. Anyway, apparently he's a whiz with the data and forecasting that predicts rain specifically in this area.
When he thinks it's going to be a rainy winter, he tells the upstream dam managers to release water into the rivers in fall ahead of the winter rains. That creates more space in the dam systems, and fills the downstream basins.
So today I drove past the downstream basins, and they were dry, dry, dry.

Definitely does me.
Oh, I sort of nod then turn my back on her. Deaf ear time.

No, not a business. I am working in someone's home. Just some light housekeeping and cooking.

I've done that in my day. It's a weird dynamic to me - not quite business-like and not quite personal. Obviously you two are together for work purposes: her to get something done, and you to do it. But when you're in someone's home you're in their personal space. And in turn they seem to feel free to intrude in your life.
I found it taxing. Perhaps you do better with it.

It is taxing and it is odd in a way as I have known this couple off and on for years. They are friends of a lady that I knew since I was a baby. This lady died last year and she left her house to them.
It is also taxing because of their religion. She's a doctor but also the wife of a semi-retired minister, so they bring their religion into a lot of discussions I have had with them. That ticks me off to no end as I just throw science back in their faces.
And in their own ways they have issues with minorities. Example their son got married over the summer to a Thai girl. The new couple came over for a visit in September but because of Trump and his travel bans, their new daughter in law couldn't enter the US to change planes. Their son came on his own and then their daughter in law had to fly direct into Canada.
The husband of the woman, I work for couldn't understand why that happened. I could only look at the man and think, "You dumb f&ck! The President of the US has problems with people of different skin colours."
This man also related a story to me a year ago that his father had told him. His family may have Indian blood. He was so horrified at this idea, that I sat at the other end of the table from him and pointed at myself and said, "Sitting right here. My family has no problem with being Indian. We're proud of it."
